He was probably left nothing in the will so is cashing in on George's death as much as he can.
I didn't want to be the one to say this ...Kutch, trust you! You took the words right outta my keypad. He seriously needs to shut up.

Indeed but he'll probably keep it up as long as he keeps getting big $$$$$ offers.

The boyfriends story doesn't really add up. He was with GM on Xmas eve but then spent the night in his car and found GM in bed the next day. Why would he stay in his car in the cold?

Unfortunately I suspect that we will find out eventually that drugs played a part in GMs death.

His Twitter account was also deleted which doesnt happen after a hack. Sad though if GM did want to die. You'd think that all that talent and money would have been enough and he always had guys around who worshipped him.
Poignant and revealing seeing George on various chat shows over the years, Parky, Norton (his original C4 show) and Oprah in particular not long after his arrest. I'd previously not been so aware of a vulnerability there. He said he'd suffered severe depression the year before, following the death of his mum and on another show he said he could be prone to self-destructive behaviour. Yet he was always determined to overcome his problems and promised Oprah and fans he'd be back. There seemed to be a pattern with George where if he was going through a dark time, he'd withdraw from public life for as long as he needed to, but eventually come back, stronger with new material. We'd not seen him for a while, but I like to think mentally he would have had that fight in him again to compose and perform....... unless this time his body just wasn't strong enough. We simply don't know.

He was working on a new comeback album with Naughty Boy. And he had a new documentary film coming out this year also.

We may get a bit more an insight in a couple of months though. Apparently a documentary and interviews had recently been completed with George and hopefully will still be shown. I think it was due to air in March so I hope it still goes ahead.

He always said music was his driving force and It really does sound like he was this close to getting himself back on track again. So sad.

Such a sad end. Love this clip of George, hard to believe it was so recent.

I thought he would kept the twitter acc open until they found the hacker by their IP.

I find it really sad that if he did tweet those things he has no regard for George's family saying things in public that could hurt them.

His father is old in his 80's. Whatever happened it come out in the autopsy.

But I find it odd he says he spent the weekend with him and now saying he slept in the car.

Surely he could have called a friend or cab to pick him up. Also how come the police were only called at 1330 ish.

Poor George. It is so sad.

May he rest in peace.

His talking and changing stories makes it look sinister, whereas a dignified silence would have bored the press and he might have been simply the poor grieving boyfriend.
With his chop and change, I now wonder how GM really died ( not suggesting murder! But not quite the die peacefully in sleep) now i think either Gm dumped him and went on a crazy drug session home alone but then I think that they did drugs together, GM died from it, bf panicked and stayed in car to claim to discover him later on christmas day
I know I'm not a miss marple, but point is without the bfg harping on I accepted his death as it seemed.

I'm still so sad about this one, GM's music accompanied my life from the age of 7 onwards FGS, still can't believe he's actually gone. Prince was my musical hero but his passing didn't hurt nearly as much, perhaps because he was more removed everyday life?

My concern would be that the boyfriend turned up on Christmas Eve unannounced asking for a get-together and that George Michael refused.

The ex boyfriend or boyfriend may have threatened him with blackmail causing George Michael to overdose.

Boyfriend then covers his back by claiming in the Press that george was suicidal

Easy. People row a lot over the Christmas period. They had a barny and either George asked him to leave or he decided to leave himself. He may've been drinking and unable to drive.

I think he was invited for Christmas and they had a fight,he marched off and slept in the car, possibly drunk/high whatever - Came back in the morning and things had gone very wrong while he wasn't in the house.
Who knows,maybe his tweets have truth in them and he has been "advised" to remove them.
Whilst,I'm sure George's management probably liked him,there will be "product" to sell very soon and any scandals will be "minimized"

Odd that there aren't many pap photos of them together but conveniently one of the boyfriend (solo!) From Christmas eve

I don't know what he could blackmail him with as everyone knows about his troubles with drugs already. Much more likely that they rowed, Fadi stormed out intending to drive home, found out he was too drunk or high to drive safely so fell asleep in the car.

You'd have to be pretty drunk to get any sort of meaningful shut eye in a car in December! And he must have 'slept in' as he didn't alert the authorities until early afternoon. Not for one minute saying he had any hand in George's death but his story is akin to the one Tiger Woods' people came out with originally when he had that 'car accident' lol.

According to friends George broke up with Fadi 18 months ago as he was just a hanger on and a leech. It was a toxic relationship. But George was grateful to have him around because he was so insecure and vulnerable. Apparently the police are investigating his story.
